MSD patent information

The MSD Patent Information site provides basic information for granted patents owned or controlled by MSD that relate to marketed and/or approved products. MSD is providing this patent information in the spirit of transparency and as a service to the public.

• The Database is not intended and cannot be relied upon as a comprehensive inventory of patent information, as an official record of patent grant or ownership, or as a replacement for a freedom-to-operate analysis.
• The Database is limited to small molecule products and other products listed in the U.S. Orange Book. Listing is further limited to those granted patents which MSD has the right to enforce and which are not restricted from public disclosure by any contractual or other legal obligation.
• The Database will be updated annually.

Disclaimers

• No warranty for accuracy or completeness: MSD commits and undertakes at all times to act in good faith in the compilation of the patent list. However, no warranty, express or implied, is given as to the accuracy or completeness of patent information.
• No liability for errors: Any error or inaccuracy in the patent information or any omission of patents or inclusion of incorrect patents will not create any liability against, or limit the rights of, MSD and may not be relied upon by third parties in any way or in any forum whatsoever.
• Corrections: MSD reserves the right to amend, remove or correct any previously submitted patent information through annual updates, or at any other time.
• No reliance on validity, product coverage, enforceability: The decision to list a particular patent in relation to a particular product in the Database reflects MSD’s good faith belief at the time of listing that such patent covers an approved product. The listing of a patent should not be understood or relied upon as legal advice, a legal opinion, a legal determination, or any other type of binding statement or representation with respect to the patent’s validity, enforceability, or covered scope. The scope of a patent, its validity, and enforceability with respect to any particular product may change at any time as a consequence of legal changes.
• No license/consent to use: Neither the use of the database, nor anything in this statement, constitutes the grant of any license, express or implied, nor any other form of authorization or consent, to practice or use any of the patents listed.
